"content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is in Nandi County in a place called Chemelil/Chemase Ward, in Tinderet Sub-County. I am using it as an example to show you how the county governments have been excluded. You will find those people perpetuating their own issues. Karebe Gold Mining Limited is the leading gold producer in this Republic. One of these days, you will get to see it. I know that you are someone who moves around the country with the intention of interacting with the people and listening to them. Your future is bright; you never know what might happen in the future. The Karebe Gold Mining Limited is mining gold but the county government cannot access the place because they have put dogs at the gate and the county government has no idea what they are doing. They could be using mercury that can cause cancer to the residents of Chemelil/Chemase Ward. If such an amendment had been passed, the county government of Nandi would have had unlimited access to the place and it would have addressed the complaints that the people have against the investor. The investor took advantage because the amendments were not in place. These amendments are important to our people for they must now be included when a PPP agreement is being considered and they will be required to give the go ahead. We have the issue of priority projects that the Senate Majority Leader talked about. He said that the county government should be part of it so as to allow monitoring and evaluation. I do not doubt the wisdom of the Senate Majority Leader for he was my law lecturer. I agree with what he has raised."
